  Good question, @emem! This can be done by editing the routine, or creating one with a different sound selected. You'll notice our [help center article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031606811-Creating-a-Routine-with-Alexa-and-your-Ring-Device-) lists the process for creating a routine with Alexa and Ring is as follows: * **Open** the Alexa app on your mobile device * Tap More in the bottom right-hand corner. * Select **Routines** from the menu. * Tap the plus sign  to **Create Routine** * A screen titled **New Routine** will appear. * Tap on and **Routine Name** and name your routine.** * Tap on **When** **This Happens** and tap **Smart Home,** select your Ring device you are creating the routine for. * Select which capability you'd like to set up. * Select **Add action** , and then choose which action it completes. * To receive a push notification when motion or contact sensor is triggered, select **Send notification** . * Under **From** , select which Alexa device controls the Routine. * Tap **Create** . As shared by other neighbors in the past, Creating a similar routine and adding an "Action" of "Sound", and choosing the sound, might accomplish what you are looking for. Feel free to let us know how this goes! :)

  This doesn’t work. It only adds a new sound before the doorbell chime and the very annoying someone is at your front door.

  Hi, Ring. We just want the doorbell sound! No need for Alexa to say "Someone is at the front door" every time. Give us that option, pretty please? If I disable the notification entirely on Alexa, then I lose the video feed on the Echo Show...

  Hey neighbors. In the Alexa app, you should have the option to turn off Doorbell Press Notifications. Under Devices > All Devices > your Doorbell > Doorbell Press Notifications can be toggled on or off. You may be able to use the [Routines](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031606811-Creating-a-Routine-with-Alexa-and-your-Ring-Device-) feature to set up a Routine to have Live View activated when someone presses the Doorbell, which should be separate from the Doorbell Press Notifications. Since the options you have available will vary depending on which Ring devices and Alexa devices you have, I'd recommend trying it out to see what combination of settings and Routines work best for you.

How? - the option for live view as a routine isn't possible.

  Has anyone here managed to stop the voice announcement? It's a real shame I can't make the most of the Halloween sounds as the voice completely ruins the experience.

  Hi @mykaitch. Try disabling the Ring Skill in your Alexa app, then reenabling it. Let me know if that worked.
